TOPICS Entertainment (http://www.topics-ent.com), sponsor of TheFlashcard.org—a blog for language educators—is pleased to announce the final installment of the series: Foreign Language Software Doesn’t Work: Part 6 – “Bringing It All Together.” The controversial series examines the marketing myths created around language-learner aspirations and software being viewed as an all-inclusive, one-stop solution to learning a new language, as compared to the actual benefits and limitations of using language-learning software by individuals and users from schools and organizations.

The series is written by The Flashcard’s chief contributor and editor, Don Gibb. Gibb brings a wealth of experience as a learner of Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), an ESOL and Special Education teacher, businessman, entrepreneur, and writer. The last few years, Gibb has been employed by, or a consultant for, some key education tech publishers in the digital language learning space.
